Planet2050, is on a mission to accelerate the global transition to net-zero by fostering and scaling high-quality, verifiable carbon projects. We understand the immense potential, and the significant challenges, of bringing innovative climate solutions to life.
With the launch of our inaugural Request for Proposals (RFP) for the initial pre-financed Carbon Removals Cohort, we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey.
Permanent Removals refer to human activities that actively remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it securely and durably for several centuries or longer.
The climate consensus including IPCC is clear: we cannot limit global warming without pursuing carbon removals. These “net negative” solutions contribute to stabilizing global temperatures and eventually reversing the accumulation of historical CO2 in the atmosphere.
Scaling Carbon Removals today can address legacy emissions, balance the risks of temperature overshoot as well as the emissions from hard-to-abate sectors.
In 2024, European institutions advanced climate policy with the creation of the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF) aiming to establish a robust framework for certifying various types of carbon removals including carbon farming or carbon storage in products.
In addition, the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) estimates the EU will need to remove between 400 million tonnes and 800 million tonnes of CO2 by 2050 to meet its climate targets — from both land-based approaches and novel technologies.
By 2050, the CDR sector is set to become a €220 billion annual market in the EU, with €70 billion coming from Germany.
The EU is now planning different paths for scaling Permanent Carbon Removals, with the possible creation of a Removal Trading Scheme (RTS) or the inclusion of Carbon Removals credits in the EU ETS, the regulated EU carbon market.
As if the sign were not clear enough, the German government included just few days ago in June 2025 Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDR) in the draft proposal for its 2025 federal budget, for the first time ever.
Planet2050 recognizes that both reducing and removing emissions are required for a Net-Zero aligned pathway.
This is why we build and invest in a diversified portfolio of high-integrity carbon projects able to generate revenue from superior carbon credits while also unlocking value from sustainable materials, energy and decarbonization services.
Planet2050’s four core investment areas are:
Permanent Carbon Removals
Nature-Based Solutions (incl. nature-based removals)
Super Pollutants
Sustainable Energy & Infrastructure
While the first edition is focusing on Permanent Carbon Removals, we invite project developers in other core verticals to submit their project for review and selection on a rolling basis.
While demand for high-quality carbon removal projects is rapidly growing, traditional sources of public or institutional funding are failing to address financing gaps, hindering early-stage developers from securing the capital needed to start or scale their crucial operations.
This crucial initiative is strategically timed with Planet2050's upcoming public listing, making its shares accessible globally to both retail and professional investors.
This unique model unlocks direct participation in climate-positive growth — without institutional gatekeeping and dependencies.
This is climate finance redefined: inclusive, liquid, community-powered and impact-driven.

And for project developers? It means accessing a robust and rapidly growing financing pipeline, expert resources and long-term commitment from a strategic partner.
Pre-financing & enhanced capital access: Planet2050 is developing termsheets for upfront capital based on equity, carbon streaming and forward agreements. Learn more in our 3-Part Carbon Finance series.
Strategic support: our team brings extensive experience in carbon project origination, structuring, certification and project finance. We are here to provide project developers guidance and support, helping you navigate complexities and maximize impact and returns.
De-risking your development: by securing future credit streams, we help insulate your project from market volatilities and provide a stable financial foundation. You ensure a consistent pipeline for your high-quality carbon credits, streamlining your revenue generation and allowing you to focus on your core innovation.
Global impact & market visibility: join the movement of leading carbon removal innovators, contributing directly to urgent climate action and the global demand for verifiable solutions. Planet2050 will amplify the visibility of our partnered projects on a global scale and give you access to a network of buyers to scale, in Europe and beyond.
Our first financing cohort will support 3 to 5 projects with investments up to €2M+ depending on project readiness and financing needs. More details in the RFP Guidelines.
Planet2050 is actively seeking groundbreaking projects that demonstrate high integrity, scalability, and measurable impact in following areas (but not limited to):
Biochar Carbon Removals
Enhanced-Rock Weathering (ERW)
Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)
Bio-oil Burial (Geological Storage)
Biomass Burial (Direct Storage)
Carbonated materials (e.g. construction)
Other Mineralization types (in-situ, microbial, mine tailings..)
If your project offers a novel, scalable, and verifiable method for permanent carbon removal, we encourage you to apply, even if it falls outside these specific categories.
Please refer to the RFP Guidelines.
Submit your application through our project Onboarding Form. The list of questions can be accessible in advance in this Form Snapshot.
We look forward to scaling Climate Action with you!
